The much altered No. 11 was once a charming early C18 house. (1)
House, now furniture shop. Mid C18, converted to garage early C20, converted and restored 1987 by Guy St John Taylor Associates. (2)
Late 18th-century house, converted to use as commercial garaging in the early 20th century (prior to 1923). This was formerly the home of Samuel Sketchley, a notable Newark brewer. It overlooked his brewery on Town Wharf and historically had two large bay windows at ground-floor level as well as a large boundary wall with ornate railings, as can be seen in early 20th century photographs. By the 1920s the building had been converted into a garage and car salesroom. The railings, wall and bay windows were removed, the ground floor altered to create a large archway on the south side so that cars could be driven in. The northern side was built outwards to the pavement edge to create a salesroom. The house was restored in 1987 by Guy St John Taylor Associates. Based on comparison with historic photos, it appears that this reinstated the railings and gateposts, along with installing a pair of windows on the north side of the ground floor. The south side of the property continues to form part of the large retail premises which extend eastwards to Middle Gate. The building was Grade II listed in 1970. (3)
